is 2000w of hps too much light for 4 or 5 plants to flower? there will be more later but right now just 5 or so actiually 12 but only 4 for sure female and a few im almost positive are males so most of them wil;l be getting removed

im under the assumtion that more light means more buds and denser buds so it seems like you couldnt go wrong with more light but i could be wrong

You can give too much. But your plant will only use as much as they need. You can "Supercharge" your garden by adding C02 . this will make your plants use even more light and give you mondo buds

Sunlight is roughly 10,000 lumens per sq ft. So i think its pretty hard to get close to that, and considering sunlight is in almost all spectrum's I don't think you can have too much light :D.

But, 2000w HPS for a few plants is overkill on your electricity bill!

there is a theoretical light saturation point but as other have pointed out - chances are good you'd burn your house down before you reach it :mrgreen:

With that much light, i'd think your grow would be one of the few that would benefit from CO2 injection (as mattso101 already pointed out).
